Just a word in regard to this little book, which we venture to add to the more pretentious undergraduate literature. The sketches and illustrations are those which appeared in the Christmas number of The “LIT.” We do not present them as masterpieces, but merely as representing the present literary work in college along the line of fiction. Several of the stories are their author’s “first appearance,” and the thumb-nail sketches are the first attempt, we believe, at college magazine illustrating. It is hoped that other volumes may in time be added, forming an “In Green and White” series. If this vest-pocket volume serve as a souvenir of The “LIT.” and an incentive to story-telling, it is well. E. O. G. HANOVER, N. H., December, ’93. SUITE FOUR. SUITE FOUR. H. C. PEARSON. [Illustrations by E. V. Spooner.] Ted Tracy sat in his little back room, gazed out of the window, and sighed. The sighing was not consequential upon the gazing, though it might well have been, for four walls of windows about a roofed-in court, with a grey sky sullenly peering in three stories higher, does not form a remarkably cheerful spectacle; not even when compared with a ten-by-twelve room containing as its sole ornaments a folding bed, a commode, three chairs, and a mirror. But Ted’s usually buoyant soul would have risen above these surroundings, as easily as the curls of his cigarette smoke; something much more depressing squeezed out that sigh.
